- Things were finally starting to slow down from a very busy day of Towing, when I received a phone call from my son, Rudy.
He explained that while he was heading out to remote area to look for deer sheds, Jeep number two stalled out and will not restart.
After two hours of hiking, him and his friend Bryn were able to catch a ride in a two seater Corvette. I wish I had video of that.
They still had a 45 minute ride before they were in cell phone service and couldn’t make a phone call.
He was in a place near coral pink sand dunes called elephant gap. We would not be able to get to where he is with a rollback tow truck, and we would have to take jeep number one out there and use a tow rope to bring him back to the pavement.
By the time they got back, and we got geared up to go. It was well after dark.
We arrived at the staging area and unloaded Jeep number one and headed up to elephant gap.
We found jeep number two as Rudy had left it, and were able to retrieve it without too much trouble.

My dad was so great. My girl and I got stuck down an old logging road. We had to walk two miles to get to a phone. My dad came and we took her home first. Then we went back and we got my truck unstuck. Then he showed me what I should have done so I wouldn't have gotten stuck in the first place. He never asked once what we were doing there or brought it up again! I sure miss him.
Larry Friddle sorry for your loss Larry
Got drunk as a teen one time and decided I couldn't drive my bike home. Girl friend said "what are we going to do?" "Phone my Dad" I said. "Won't he be mad you got drunk?" "Nope he will be happy I didn't try to drive". Dad thought the whole thing was funny and was pleased I called him.
Wish I had a good dad story
So...what were you doing their? 😂
@@ramanpreciado2241 Nothing once I got stuck. She was such a sweet heart. She was telling my dad it was all her fault. Dad just grinned.
This reminded me of when my daughter first started driving and I told her if she was ever in trouble, she should call me and I wouldn't fuss or complain no matter where she was or what time it was. It only happened once and I kept my word. This shows what great parents Matt and Jaymie are. They never fussed. Love it! Rudy also.
I don’t know what you are talking about. I think they both do a great job.
My dad pulled my off some wet grass I was stuck on a few miles from his house at 11pm after a concert, never heard the end of it and every year the story was told it became one hour later meaning I was rescued at 12am, 1am, 2am, 3am, lol
I love how Rudy took his sheds with him when hiking back to the road, lol. "I'll leave the truck, but not my antlers!"
He had to have a good backstory cmon
@@joshlower1 😉😉
The truck will be there later. The sheds... maybe not. Competition for those is pretty intense.
"Which way?"
"The way we're goin!"
thanks dad. :P
Ian Ahner 😂😂😂
DUH DUH DUH
I live down in Costa Rica and I have pulled/winched about 50 cars out of the sand over the last few years and I’m learning new techniques watching you. I am 100% hooked on this channel. Keep up the great videos.
Matt's methods sure works, I learn something when I watch his videos. I got my 86 K-10 Silverado running after replacing a few important items but now gonna concentrate what I should do on the quadrajet carburetor but will be good when I'm done with that.
I'm "repairing" my 82 K10. From Florida and now in Texas. We don't have rocks in Florida so I can't wait to hit Marble Falls Adventure Park.
First I have to get a Matt's Rope!! Good work on gettjng the license on the rope guys.
Pura Vida. Im in Heredia
Any girl who goes on a recovery with you is a keeper!
He didn't
reversing off the lowbed onto the trailer was the best damn thing ive seen my entire life
And then tipping the trailer!
You haven't seen much have you.😕
@@FYMASMD C&C, 75 likes. WMW, 2 likes. *Sad trombone sound*
Long nights and longer days makes us who we are. Hat's off to ya keep up the good work 😁 👍
Your a good father! And your son is lucky to have someone like you
And you are luck to have him as a son.
My Dad did the same for me I was ounce proud owner of a V8 RS Camaro Aniversary edition got it stuck in the sand on a back road went for a drive with a young lady my old man comes to the rescue says what are you doing out here lol he knew the score just played it cool what a guy! I'm a Dad now just doing what Dad's do keep it up long live Winder towing
He already knew what his good ol son was up to!😉
Steve Christmad This made me chuckle...parents always know what‘s up!
Is you dad still alive? Cool dad. My dad past away 7 years about I was with him to the very end of his life. He passed away in my arms. It’s was the saddest day in my lie but I know he is not suffering anymore and my mom just passed away this year and they are in heaven together as one. Blessings to all on this thanksgiving day 2019.
My dad was way cool too and help me out when I needed helping hands. Ya they know dads they been in the same spots.
William E sorry to read about your parents passing. Stay strong and make them proud!
Matt the always smiling always positive vibe from you and the team is an inspiration and example to all. Never lose that.
You never stop being a father/mother.
Our kids will always be our kids and we are there for them anyplace, anytime. Thumbs up dad !
Loved Rudy’s paint scheme. Looked good. Hurray for Dad!
Your channel is always entertaining to watch because you seem to enjoy what you're doing. Keep uploading!
Junior was looking for a quiet place lol
🤣🤣🤣
Not gonna lie by their smiles they were glowin' like kids do!
exactly
he did find a nice rack
Hope they took care of business before hiking out.
"We were shed hunting, that is our story, and we are sticking with it."
Nice benefit to being in a family with a towing service. Glad everything worked out fine.
I live close to the beach and have been pulling cars of the sand for a few years. But watching Matt's Off Road Recover I have learned some new tips. Very nice Technics. Thanks Matt keep the video,s coming. And I got to get me one of those ropes. my next purchase.
That was pretty slick unloading jeep. 2:10
Yea, that was pretty ingenious.
That was the slickest way to load and unload the jeeps. I have spent hours trying to get a vechical on a trailer. I would like to see a walk around video on his jeep. Great video and once again it's a joy to see your jeep in action.
Keith Lea he’s got a walk around video of the Jeep in a whole other video. Pretty cool.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery would like to see this
Love that your son seems to have inherited your demeanor Matt. ❤️ y’all videos. If I’m ever out that way and I get stuck somewhere, I know who just to call!
You guys live in a very beautiful part of the country. It,s a cool way to make a living and driving around the back roads helping people. Keep up the good work.
My dad has been gone for twelve years and I think of him every single day.
You never forget, I am 62.5 yrs. mine has been gone for 57 yrs. If they are still with you "cherish them " Am happy for Matt and Rud
I can't even begin to add up the number of times my Dad rescued me, or my 2 older brothers from stupid self made middle of the night disasters! Nor will I recount the worst, or the goofiest!
Let's just say Many,many times ;)
Dad's 87 now and would still, if needed get up at 2 am and preform if needed! Love ya Dad!
The shit we do for our kids...gotta love em. 👍
At 19, I fell asleep at the wheel in my Corvair. I was part off the road when I jerked the wheel and spun the butt around. The engine stalled and it wouldn't even crank. People must have seen me because dad was there in 15 minutes (days before cell phones). Someone had tried to boost the battery but it wouldn't even click. Dad walked up, looked at the gravel on the road, shook his head then put the jumper between the battery negative and the engine. It fired right up (bad ground). I went home and as we walked in the door, he told mom "Your son almost killed himself". Mom looked at me (not a scratch), said nothing and it was never discussed again. Now that I'm 64, I always carry snacks, cold drinks or pull over if I get sleepy
Good job mom and dad ! Oh thats what GOOD parents do for their kids !
I'm glad I'm not the only one who would make a typo in my business name. Shows that Matt and team are real people doing real work and letting us tag along. Thanks Matt's offroad towing and "recoery" 😜
That music started me watching this channel and I'm still hook to it. Thanks Matt. Jaymie, love you all.
Did a great job of keeping that tow rope tight. Everyone I have had to do this with just about gave me whip lash from not being able to keep the slack out of the tow rope.
Love the ATV action at the end. ❤ I hope to get my young grandson one someday.😢
need that set up to haul derby cars out here in southeast Kansas. I have been rescued in the middle of the night. And since becoming a parent i have done rescue missions. Great job guys. 💪
This can happen to anyone,that’s why everyone should carry a backpack with water and little bit of food
Yup and something to start fire...if up north :)
And one or two of those plastic foil blankets
Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared",it's like horse power in a drag race ,better to have and not need it, than to need it a not have it.My kids always say Dad you have 2 of every thing ,got that from my father inlaw RIP KD Thanks for every thing you taught me
@@dennistaylor5052 Never was a Scout but the mantra of being prepared is good preparation. Have to walk out? Balance weight and utility for the situation and it works well. A bag with some handy things and a small box with other usefull stuff depending on the situation helps. nothing major. Food, water, and tools are my big things. I also keep a bunch of stuff in my daily drivers just in something is a problem on the way to work. Storms? Throw the chainsaw and some chains and rope in for example. Better to lug a few things around and be able to choose what you need than not have it when you need it for sure. I miss my FIL too. Tough old man.
@@dennistaylor5052 old saying I heard from a old time off grid mountain man one's " 2 is 1 and one is none "ask what he meant he said allways have a back - up ; even in live allways be prepared and have a back - up plane . My wife says I care enough stuff to last a week just to run to the grocery store are gas station
Don't worry Rudy, my papa has had to come rescue me in the middle of the night several times too. It's what dad's are for 😅
Parents always think their all done once the kid moves out... yea right lol
At least he wasn’t calling from jail 😉
Your boys are lucky to have awesome parents like you and Jamie
At least a fun family adventure...with a Jeep...wounded...never dead! Keep up the good work and fun times...these videos make my xj's more desired and valuable!
A year and a half later and look how far you have come, MORR!
You have quite a family always helping each other
Sons never brake down or get stuck doing day light hours.... Got to love it... Hahaha
Love that corvair wagon!
The sense of ease when your father is in the towing business. 👍
Matt you are an awesome dad and you have an awesome son in Rudy.
That unloading of the Jeep without removing the trailer had to be one of the coolest and smoothest moves I think I've ever seen
The rollback to the trailer off load was a thing of beauty.
That slick unload off the wrecker and the car hauler just convinced me I need a roll back truck in my life
Sledhead 600 I was thinkin the damn damn thing
Be careful hooking Jeep front end like that, to tight will bend that axle housing.
I learned from someone else mistake.
I have been subscribed for awhile, your channel is really cool and I really enjoy watching you recover all the different vehicles and situations. My cousin owns a recovery company, it is not as easy as you make it look. Beautiful part of the country too. I am jealous of that huge sandbox to play in.
Shed hunting is one of my favorites hobbies. But we don’t have mule deer or elk in Indiana so it translates to a lot less antlers to be found.
I've said it before....wish you covered the Mojave Desert to include the Mojave Road and Las Vegas area. The setup that you have for going off road is very creative. Leave the heavy tow truck near pavement and take the off-road vehicle to the site of the "broke" SUV, then haul both back to town. So, I guess I should limit my solo off roading to the Hurricane area. No tow facility around the Mojave Road will go more than 100 yards off pavement. So you are at the mercy of someone passing by and being a Good Samaritan. Great video. Thanks.
join a jeep/offroad clun, very likely one in every area and will be more than happy to do complicated recoveries for fuel if not for free
Sounds like a good spot to start up an off-road recovery service...
Mojave area is either inland empire 4x4 recovery, SoCal off-road recovery, or high desert 4x4 recovery. There’s a ton of groups out there that will do it just for the sheer fun of it, no charge
@@robdog1245 Thank you so much for the information. I will certainly look up each one and see if I am covered. I just could not find any groups on my own that specifically said they would cover the Mojave Road. I just like moving off road slowly, at my own pace. In groups you have to keep up. So If I wanted to stop to observe nature or get a photo, I would not be able to in a group. I would gladly pay for their fuel and time.
LOL this video reminds me of all the times I had to go and get my son and his equipment,boats,snowmobile and truck. Good memories. And like you I stayed calm because that’s just what fathers do.
Calling dad is always and will always be the most embarrassing thing. But always the one to answer the phone and tell me where I fucked up. Love the old man
Great job Matt.
As a teenager i got stuck on the mountain one night. Dad went with me to get unstuck. He said "you drive since you know where it is". So i got his truck stuck, too. That was a long night but we got them both out. Dads are great!
Well thanks dad ! Did you see the smile on his face when he was introducing his girlfriend? I hope you’re getting the sleep you need on a regular basis. Good video thanks.
7:00 Dad patience, Matt, “turn your wheels “ Rudy, “turn then which way??” LOL!
Hey Rudy, good thing your dad knows someone with cool toys to help come rescue you!
My granddaughter called me a couple of weeks ago. Had A dead battery. Could've called AAA but I was closer. Made me feel needed. Gotta LOVE them. 😁
FAMILY!!!!!.......nuff said.
Make sure to use a Mopar crank position sensor.I made the mistake of replacing mine with an aftermarket one and it ran like shit!Spend the $100 on a genuine Mopar one,you will be good for another 18yrs.
Dan Hambrick so glad I saw this comment I need to replace my one, cheers mate
yup! crank sensor, just about the only thing that can stop the straight six
D C definitely make sure I change my one out soon
The 4.0 inline 6 is the second best motor ever put in a Jeep! I put almost 250k on one with no problems at all.
That seems to apply to them all. My aftermarket 7.3 wouldn’t even start. Lol
My dad rescued me a few times in the middle of the nite too.... 👍👍👍👍
Good video with useful info for aspiring XJ owners. Good Dad and beautiful country as well. I liked how you used the rollback with the tilt trailer; very clever.
A fine program and family.Thankyou.
This reminds me, when I was a teenager just starting out off roading, I went camping in my dad's 1972 IH Scout II. It wouldn't start the next morning, and dad had to come rescue me. No mobile phones back then. It was a very long half day hike to a pay phone.
Great work Matt, fine recovery and nothing like a good day of wheeling with me fam.
Did you charge him standard rates or cut him some slack, Matt?
Matt doesn't have a choice. He said it himself, it's his second most important vehicle for his off road rescue operation
I was thinking the same thing, did he at least get the family discount? :)
Bw Bacon Do you charge your kids when you help them move house? lol
he paid double
@@charles8557 If they move from your house consider it an investment.
Cool Family Video!!!!!!!I Love it!! And I Love Ya'll!!!! Ya'll are an awesome Family! wish I was related to you so I could come visit Utah it is soooo Beautiful!!! God Bless all of you!
Oh...brings back memories...my pops coming out in the middle of the night to tow me out of wherever.😂🤣👍
I just found your videos and really do enjoy them. Your family and friends are wonderful, and the dogs too. What you do rescuing vehicles is awesome! I stayed up half the night watching them! I first started using that yankum type rope back in the 70s and just couldn't believe what it could do.
Thanks for the wonderful videos and hope to see many more. You are for sure a real pro at what you do .
Had no idea Rudy was related. Cute family, Matt!
Great family , I love your videos .
Love shed hunting ! I have Mule deer fever BAD ! I saw elk sheds also , So Impressive !
Here in Northern Maine its whitetail deer and Moose are our big sheds.
Rudy has a cool wagon. Wouldn't mind hearing more about that!
It's a first generation Corvair, it's got flat six engine in the back!
If that had been me and need my father to help he would have said call me when the sun comes up! Man i miss him.... Love when family looks out for family.
The bestest Dad! 👍👍
Your such good parents... Love your car Rudy! 11:22
Love watching the off road trips.
'Sorry Dun Broke Down'. Now your son has the name of his own TH-cam channel. ;)
Oh! The magic of getting stuck somewhere off road in the middle of the nigh! At least it ain't raining.
That's a fisherman's equivalent to giving up the fishing hole. Good finds!
More like a good cover story😉
Aloha and just recently found your channel and it is Great! Please keep it up and keep those videos coming a great channel and worth every minute watching them! 🤙🏼
That was really cool backing off the truck onto the trailer worked out great
This makes me miss my dad
yup I can say same about my dad, always will show up, even though im an adult, and do just fine, same goes for my brother always there no mater what
We had gone down in the river on a tow one night, before we were done the rescuers were all stuck. Of course the Father in law shows up to bail us all out. The whole time telling us how stupid we were. I smiled and said...your here too.
The banana (full yellow) pulling the lil banana peel.. (yellow stripe) ;)
Banana split
Chicken in a Biskit are the best! My mom always loved those.
Chicken in a biskit is my favorite! Those are some nice sheds. My boy would be jealous!
Matt: if i was your son id use AAA towing one time just to mess with ya. Lol
Matt is AAA...
@@gdijkema i think you missed my point.
That might not be so good
What a great idea to drive off the flatbed onto the trailer then the ground - so cool.
Poor little Jeep! You need all your Yellows up and running! 😄
You have the best dad ever
Beautiful country. Always a thumbs up!!
You just dun listen to dad ok. Love the way you put it on the flat bed cheers.
Y'all are lucky your Dad is a cool dude, with lot's of neat sh!t.
Mom missed a great chance. "So how many times has your dad had to rescue you at that exact spot with a different girl?"
Absolutely love your videos, its nice to see your family the support team. I found you via the cry baby video was posted in my xj group on Facebook. Great channel, great vids, keep up the hard work. XJ rule.
See “Pickin’ Wild Mountain Berries” by Loretta And Conway. 😁
We’ve all been there - either being pulled or pulling. Matt is a great dad, nobody here would expect less from him. I’d jump through hoops to help my daughter.
My XJ just randomly shut off for years. You'd go back later to diagnose it and drag it home and it would usually fire right up. Jeep eventually sent out a "recall" providing a wiring schematic and a length of wire and I had to do a bypass on the wiring under the dash. That seemed to cure it for the year before I sold it.
It really stinks when they go down that's why I like my 1978 CJ with the AMC 360 nothing to do with a computer lol all I'm going to say Matt if it wasn't for good parent's like us the world would be full of crappy people. Loved the video I hope your Jeep gets up and running really soon God Bless you and your family
Nice recovery Matt, 5⭐️
Dads do it best helping out the kids and grandkids👍👍
